I can't keep the tears from falling from my eyes
When to loved ones I have to say goodbye
And though my heart is breaking
With joy I still can sing
I have a promise
We'll meet again someday
Oh, what a promise
How it thrills my soul
For we'll be united
Where stormclouds never roll
After the shadows
Of night have passed away
Oh, what a promise
We'll meet again someday
It's the song of the church
For all the children of the King
It's: oh grave, where's your victory
Tell me death, where's your sting
For it's through the blood of Jesus
All my sins are washed away
And I have this promise
We'll meet again someday
Oh, what a promise
How it thrills my soul
For we'll be united
Where stormclouds never roll
After the shadows
Of night have passed away
Oh, what a promise
We'll meet again someday
Oh, what a promise
Oh, what a promise
We'll meet again someday
